WITH A CRUISE missile travelling over
Western Canada Tuesday, Greenpeace staged
a protest, setting off helium balloons with a
fishing net to try to force the missile to fly at
higher altitudes.

Today's question is:

Do you feel Greenpeace
actions in trying to
stop the cruise missile
are justified?

Cheryl Stwart

West Vancouver

Yes. Their efforts aren't
necessarily going to stop
the cruise, but their
motives are good.
They’re at least trying to
protect us.

M.S. James

Richmond

No. To be honest with
you, it’s none of their
damn business. Every
country has to progress. |
hate the idea of nuclear
power, but everyone has
to progress so they won't
be sitting ducks.

Hardy Verheyden
Aldergrove

No. [| don’t think
anyone’s happy about
nuclear weapons, but if
Russia has them, then
this country is worth
defending. Greenpeace is
overdoing it. They should
stay out of it,

Bill Harborne

North Vancouver

No. Greenpeace should
stick to animals and leave
weapons and politics to
the powers that be.
Without weaponry we'd
be under the thumb of
the big red bear.

Satu Rand

Surrey

No. I don’t know what
Greenpeace is trying to
do, but it sounds funny
to me. There must be
some more clever way of
going about it. But 1 am

Serving court documents
too costly says W. Van

IT’S COSTING far too
much money for West
Van police to service
criminal documents,
says West Van council.

By CHARLES MAVER

And it’s time the provincial
attorney general was told that
it’s not only West Van that
can't afford the costs in time
and dollars of the paper-
work, but most other B.C.
municipalities as well,

West Van council's deci-
sion to tell the provincial
government thai it can't con-
tinue 10 burden the cost of
servicing criminal documents
is in connection with the
Attorney-General’s decision
last April to scrap the provin-
cially administered — sheriff
service.

In essence, that move
eliminated sheriff services
which up to that time pro-
cessed the criminal
documents.

It was expected by the
attorney-general’s office that
the sheriff duties would be
picked up by local police
forces, whether municipal or
RCMP.

West Van, at the request of
the Union of B.C.
Municipalities, kept detailed
records ‘as to the number of
documents received for ser-
vice, documents served and
related costs.””

Accordingly to West Van
municipal clerk Doug Allan,
similar records were main-
tuined by other municipalities
and the results can now be us-
ed to press the provincial
government to either resume
responsibility for servicing
criminal documents or at
least reimburse the
municipalities for the staff
costs.

“What is clear is that the
cost for criminal document
servicing now having to be
borne by municipalities for
about an eight month period
is in excess of $500,000,""
said Allan,

Since local police have
been doing the work
previously handled by pro-
vincial sheriffs, it has cost
West Van a total of $8,683.
